0. Install dependencies - I recommend using your package manager for this.

Translations

1. There is a SAMPLE.ts file here. Open it in Qt Linguist.
2. Pick the language you wish to translate to.
3. Translate relevant strings.
4. Try to resist the urge to include profanity.
5. Save the file as Lector_<language> and send it to me, preferably as a pull request.

Please keep the translations short. There's only so much space for UI elements.
